The screenshot of the DoD recruitment pitch from the conference set off a little "military-industrial complex alarm" in my mind. To be clear, I wouldn't have tagged the guy in a mean tweet. I would have just frowned and gone on with my day. But I think it's crucial that the voices of people like this blogger be present in tech communities.

But as ever there isn't a correct answer and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I think it should be okay to complain about both without being fired for it.
